Finnegan voted NFL’s dirtiest player

Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan was voted the NFL’s Dirtiest Player in a midseason poll conducted by The Sporting News. The survey consisted of votes from 100 players.

Finnegan received 19 votes, ahead of Steelers linebacker James Harrison (16) and Steelers receiver Hines Ward (13). Through eight games this season, Finnegan has been fined three times for a total of $20,000.

In the same survey, Titans running back Chris Johnson was fifth in the voting for Offensive MVP at the halfway point, with Colts quarterback Peyton Manning in the lead.

Coach Jeff Fisher was fifth in the Coach of the Year voting (Pittsburgh’s Mike Tomlin was first) and Johnson was also fifth in the “Toughest Player to Game Plan For”. Manning was also first in that category.
